Message from our new CEO

29 August 2018

Today I am proud to accept the nomination from the Board of Directors to become CEO of Thor3D.

Some history…the company was, until now, ruled by committee. Although periodically, this “collective-wisdom” approach was beneficial, over time we realized that a strict hierarchy and one person at the helm is needed. The Board of Directors took 6 months to consider whether to nominate a CEO and if yes, who that might be. After much debate about how this could change the culture of the company, the decision was made this month. I was elected unanimously, which, naturally, boosts confidence, as I take on this new challenge.

I am honored and optimistic. My first priority will be R&D (after all, Thor3D is, first and foremost, a technology company). My aim will be to significantly improve our current technology and to introduce a new 3D scanner at least once a year (expect to hear big news before the end of the year). Another priority will be organization of our intellectual property. I anticipate filing a number of international patents over the next year to formalize the innovative work that has been done in the company over the previous months.

As for Sales/Marketing, in my stead, I am excited that my long-time lieutenant, Mr. Vadim Fomichev, has agreed to take on the Direct of Sales post. Vadim has done a great job in managing our ever-growing global distribution network. He will now also be responsible for corralling Technical Support, Sales and Marketing departments.
